Question To torque or not too?

Just had the rear wheel out of my XT660z for deep cleaning around the rear and now its time to put the rear wheel back on, but, do I torque wrench the rear 22 mm U-flange nut to 105nm or tighten to ��.as hard as you can without using the torque wrench��.

This isn�t the first time, in not using the torque, I�ve been told this this week as, apparently, using the specified wrench will overtighten the nut and thus be a real problem in undoing it at a later date, too, using the torque, at 105nm, will over tighten the nut as to ruin the bearings...


So, do you guys� torque to the correct setting or does doing it by hand give you more piece of mind or does both ways work okay�???

Thanks
